I was very pleased with this product. I was very skeptical at first due to many reviews saying it wasn't worth it. It is a very nice piece of furniture, especially for the price. It is a little uncomfortable to sit on for the first few days, but once the cushions get broken into it's very comfortable. The assembly wasn't hard at all. The directions were straight forward, and the pieces were labeled correctly. I am a female, 5'3 & 138 ibs. and it took me an hour to put it all together by myself. I gave it 4 stars just because the couch in't made as sturdy as I anticipated. The wood is very slender and thin. But, it does well as long as you don't have kids who will jump on it.
